Can’t hold a candle to Terri Garr.

You better believe it, brother. My first actress crush.
Remember how stupid Richard Dreyfus was to bail on Terri Garr in favor of a bunch of weird little ET aliens?

In his defense, he also abandons his kids.
Oddly enough, I just watched this last night:
If you like Teri Garr, make sure to watch the Trek original series episode ‘Assignment Earth.’ She’s super cute in it.
Just wow…
Ugh, tell me about it.
As part of the regular “those creepy commercials” feature of the thread…
Probably was only a scam, though?
Nah, that’s how I met my wife.
I meant, they probably sent a floppy with a word file. I doubt there was even a program.
Come to think of it, that would explain a lot about our marriage.
Way back in the 286 days, there were some “expert systems” that could be programmed to do some interesting test parsing and responses, some folks tried to make decision-tree stuff based on this. ESIE was the one I recall messing with, but it’s so old it can’t be looked up on a current search engine without being buried in more modern uses of the name (including a DOS emulator, apparently).
Probably wouldn’t be hard to spend a few days putting together a half-hour or so of “girl chat” using a system like that. Especially given how predictable the text entries I think we all know this particular software would get.
You can tell it was a scam because the ad didn’t even list their website.
